“Thank you for taking such great care of George due to last minute wedding out of state! Received so many picture updates which were welcomed since he usually is by my side 24/7.”
“We were very pleased w the entire experience. We, with our two dogs, met Evan in advance to make sure everyone was comfortable and at that point I knew we were in good hands. Our babies had so much fun running around on a farm Happily recommend Evan.”
“Lorraine dog sat our dog over a weekend recently. She was attentive and very easy to work with. Would definitely recommend her and would consider her again in the future.”
“Denise was communicative with us during our weekend away. We felt our pups were well taken care of and seemed to feel at home quite quickly! We would book with Denise again.”
“I could not have asked for a better experience! From the beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable leaving Otis with her. She has such a warm, loving home, a big yard for him to run and play in, and a sweet little girl dog of her own to keep him company. She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay and kept me updated on how he was doing, which meant so much to me. Otis is still a puppy with LOTS of energy, and he can definitely test the limits and be a little naughty at times! 😂 She handled all of his puppy antics like an absolute pro—with patience, kindness, and a great sense of humor. Most importantly, I could tell that Otis was genuinely cared for and loved while he was there. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your dog and know that he’s not just being “watched,” but is actually comfortable, happy, and treated like part of the family. I would absolutely trust her with Otis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and capable sitter. We definitely found our Rover sitter! ❤️🐾”
“Martine and Ronald were fantastic!!!!! Our little dog was comfortable and she acted safe with them… they sent us pictures.. I highly recommend them !!!”
“Hannah took great care of Roxy. She gave me daily updates on Roxy and pictures. Will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Kona was well taken care of by Yaryna and her family. She came home happy and full of energy. I got daily updates on how she was doing. She also got some good walks, which not all Rover sitters will do. I liked how she only takes one pet at a time. Very happy.”
“I will highly recommend Diego to taking care your dog. He taking care of our little dog for 3 weeks, he provided us with daily updates and pictures the whole time and make our dog feel like he was part of his family. Thank you so much Diego.”
“Jazzie's stay with Dominique was great. I was concerned because she is so picky, but she seemed to be quite comfortable & from what Dominique told me, was her husband's shadow. She kept me updated & sent photos. I will definitely leave Jazzie in Dominique's care when necessary. I think Jazzie was even a little sad when we picked her up. ”
“Aimee took really great care of our dog, kept her busy with walks and outside time, and gave her everything she needed! And she sent lots of pictures to us! Neela loved staying with Aimee and we will definitely book her again!”
“I had an exceptional experience with Jill! She accepted my booking request at the last minute, showing incredible flexibility and understanding. Despite the short notice, she provided top-notch care for my dog Sasha, ensuring they were happy and well-cared for throughout. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and accommodating pet sitter!”
“Daniela is the perfect dog sitter and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We were nervous dropping off our pup for this first time and she made everything so seamless and sent lots of photos. Will only use her from now on!!”
“Taylor was great and we highly recommend her! She watched our small, energetic dog for 2 nights and sent daily updates/pictures. Her dog got along great with our dog too, so our dog was very entertained the whole trip.”
“Sylvia went above and beyond to make sure our pup was comfortable and had a good time at her home for the weekend. She sent lots of great pictures and updates throughout the day as well. Our pup was nervous at night & had trouble sleeping. Sylvia found solutions and went the extra mile to make him feel better at night. We appreciate all her help this weekend!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Light
This was my first time using Rover. Nicole accommodated Mocha and I at the last minute and I thank her so much for helping us out. Nicole and mocha got along very well. Dropping off and picking up Mocha went very smooth. We had no problems. I will definitely be using Nicole again.
Nicole is a true professional, and I was incredibly impressed with her from the moment I met her. She clearly has an extensive understanding of dogs, particularly canine behavior, temperament, and how dogs interact with one another. More importantly, she knows how to use that knowledge to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment for every dog in her care. Her setup for the dogs is fantastic, and it was immediately obvious to me that she has put a great deal of thought into their safety and well-being. She also just has a wonderful, calm, confident vibe—the kind of person you feel comfortable trusting with a dog you love. Nicole kept in touch with me while Dharma was staying with her and made sure I knew she was safe, happy, and in very capable hands. That peace of mind meant so much to me. I would absolutely trust Nicole with Dharma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to board their dog. She doesn’t simply “watch dogs”—she understands them, and that makes all the difference.
Miss Angela is amazing, and took such good care of my wonderful furry companion. Kept me informed with pics and videos, and taught me how to easily disassemble the crate that belongs to my Sheba. Helped me enjoy my trip and know that my precious girl was in great hands, Absolutely terrific, and will be delighted to reach out to for next time. Thank you Miss Angela!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their New Light home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your New Light.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your New Light sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
